What is recorded here
Corrymeelagh holds a megalithic tomb from the prehistoric period, where ancient people lifted heavy stone to mark death and memory. The chamber still waits beneath the earth, unchanged since before written history. Someone carried a body into that dark box and sealed it with stone, trusting the weight to keep the dead safe.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb; likely Neolithic in date. These tombs are significant as some of the earliest communal burial monuments in the region, reflecting early social organisation and ritual practices.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
